"A witness, unlike a testator, may not sign by making a mark. If there is more than one page to the will (other than the page on which it ends), the testator or proxy must sign or make a mark on each and every page of the will. It is unclear from the Act whether witnesses are required to sign on every page or just at the end of the will, as it just says that they must sign the will. It is generally accepted that witnesses are not required to sign every page; they are simply required to sign",
"made or completed, the commissioner must as soon as possible thereafter complete the certificate and sign the will as indicated above. The importance of this requirement was seen in the case of \"\"Tshabalala v Tshabalala\"\". The commissioner of oaths may not act in a dual capacity as witness, for witnesses are required to attest and sign the will in the presence of the commissioner. In these circumstances, therefore, four persons are required to sign in order to validly execute the will: the two witnesses, the testator placing a mark (or person signing on behalf of the testator) and the commissioner."
